More DS Mock-Ups and the Worst Scammer Ever

More DS mockups:

That would be very hard to hold. [Thanks, Ali!]

This one came from Joe Balardi (as well as a few others). Joe Balardi is the worst scammer ever. Gizmodo has a bounty out for the first Nintendo DS pics, right? We get lots of images sent in with crazy, inflated tales of origin, which is fine, because as all know that in America lying gets you stuff. Joe, however, doesn’t quite get how it works. Look at this progression of deceit:

this might be it please email me as soon as possible

this is the real thing please email me as soon as possible at [email protected] i found out because i am an exclusive Nintendo member

this one took me a while dont how;d i get it, well lets just say im ahead of the game when it comes to nintendo, nintendo magazines, or the website.

here it is the moment you have been waiting for, THE REAL NINTENDO DS!!!!! just check the attachment and email me.

this is a little cheesy looking, but it could be it email me soon

Now bear in mind that in five different emails, Joe only sent me 4 images, most of which had run on Gizmodo before. He actually sent two different emails with the same DS picture, but different reasons it was real. Joe Balardi, you are indeed ahead of the game.

Gizmodo has offered a bounty for the first legitimate pre-release pictures of the Nintendo DS.
